o - Flashback - Konoha – Red Light District Alleyway o
In an alleyway in the Red Light District of Konohagakure no Sato, sits a little girl who looks to be five years old near a very gross looking dumpster seeing as it is covered in graffiti and trash of course.
The alleyway itself looks much worse.
Even more graffiti, random viscid stains on the walls from perhaps thrown trash or from something more gross than that, there is a discarded pile of clothing on one side near the entrance, as well as a few boxes strewn about.
It also looks someone actually cleaned it up a little – though of course not enough. The pile of clothes are dirty, but they look to be used recently to clean up some of the stains on the wall as well as from recent graffiti. The boxes are actually stacked up in a way (and actually tied together) to act like a makeshift room of sorts, maybe even a makeshift house.
Inside of the- surprisingly spacious-makeshift house, is a plain yet still used pillow and a very tattered blanket folded neatly in front of it. In the corner on top of yet another box which is poorly labeled on the side that says, "RAMEN", the word being just a bunch of holes, poking the box to spell the word, and of course on top of the box is a few ramen cups, and a bowl of water.
The water seems useless for the ramen, seeing as there is no means of actually cooking it and starting a fire-which the owner of said house can't even make- would attract attention-again, something the owner didn't think about.
Getting back outside with the little girl, whose own name she is confused about due to what the other people have call her as she scurries her way around for food, though she is very sure her name is Naruko.
Or was it Naruto?
She doesn't remember. Though both still sound a lot better than, what was it...0
"Demon whore?"
Naruko doesn't know what a "whore" is, though she think it might have to do with those really pretty and nice ladies who sometimes help her out or teach her a few things, like writing.
If that is a bad word, than why are those ladies called them? Are they really a demon and a whore like her?
Naruko shakes her head, her messy and unruly dark red hair shaking with her, and continues to try and close the lid on the surprisingly big garbage bin, her short height really not helping.
After a few more attempts, Naruko puffs out her whisker marked cheeks in annoyance, checks her dirty rag like dress for any sort of stain, and goes and looks for a stick to see if that could help.
o Inside Naruko's Home o
After winning the very tough battle between the dumpster, Naruko decided to celebrate by eating ramen! Of course it won't be as great as cooked ramen, but it's still the food of the gods! Or so that kind man from the ramen store said to her after giving her some ramen to eat and she enjoyed it immensely.
Sitting down on her pillow, she begins to eat the uncooked ramen at a slow pace.
That is, until a shout from outside "her" alleyway actually made her drop her ramen and she quickly ran outside to where the shout came from, completely forgetting the dangers that come with showing her face.
o Red Light District: Near A Food Stand o
"Oi, gaki! Where are you? Man, I've been looking all over for you!"
The one shouting this is none other than Jiraiya, the Gama Sennin of Konoha, with his hands cupping his mouth in order for his shout to reach Naruko's ears.
'Tch, what a bitch...' He swears in his mind, 'Look at me, I can't even find my own god daughter.' Jiraiya shakes his head in guilt and sighs.
'Hell, she doesn't even have a place to live! Just what is the old man doing in his office anyways...?'
With another sigh, Jiraiya runs a hand down his face, and stands still to see if Naruko heard.
It wasn't every day that an S-Ranked Shinobi would stand in the Red Light District, Jiraiya was especially noticeable due to how tall he was, at a height of six feet two inches. He has waist-length spiky white hair that is tied into a pony tail with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There are red lines under both of his eyes that extend down his face. His current attire is a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wears mesh armor. He also wears hand guards, a black belt, traditional Japanese wooden sandals, and a red haori. He carries a large scroll on his back, he has a tattoo on his left palm, and he adorns a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil" on it.
Just as the legendary pervert was going to shout out for his god daughter, he was soon knocked into the ground by said girl and a let out a grunt of pain.
"JI-SAN!"
Groaning slightly, Jiraiya looks onto his stomach to see Naruko, in all her rags and dirty face looking down on him with a big smile.
"You, came back, Ji-san!"
Jiraiya didn't know what came over him, but seeing his god daughter in the same state as she was when he last visited her half a year ago, he said something that changed the entire shinobi world. Though they of course didn't know it.
"Neh Naruko-chan," He said, immediately getting her attention, her head tilting to the side cutely.
"You want to be my adoptive daughter?"
...
...
And thus began Naruko's new life and adventure within the Elemental Nations.
Filled with bonds.
o Forest of Death o
"TOU-SAN HELP ME!"
Being chased by the abnormally large forest creatures of the Forest of Death, Naruko ran for her life as her father watches from the tall trees above.
"Come on Naruko-chan! Run a little bi-!" Jiraiya was cut off due to the sudden noise behind him, a giant spider falling down from its web and its sixteen eyes boring into his.
"GAH! NARUKO! SAVE ME!"
Jiraiya promptly dived down to where his daughter was, picked her up, and soon began to run out of the forest.
o Ichiraku Ramen Stand o
"Neh, Inu!"
The Dog masked ANBU that was sitting on the stool reading his "bible" and enjoying his ramen at this underrated food stand looks to his left and sees Naruko, in all her very small glory looking at him from her stool, dressed in an attire Kakashi hasn't seen since she died during the Kyuubi attack.
"What's up?"
She points to his "bible", Icha-Icha Paradise, and looks at him questionably.
"What's with the book? There are a lot of books at home that look the same! Tou-san always says that when I'm older, he'll pass down his legacy!"
Kakashi didn't know if he should be proud or worried.
o Konoha Park o
Hand in hand with his older brother, Sasuke looked around the playground to see if there was any other kid who wouldn't be sent away by their own parents-due to him being an Uchiha- to play but is out of luck.
That is, until a girly voice calls from the swings.
Sasuke noticed that she was wearing this really nice clothing, clothing meant for high members of the clans of Konoha, but doesn't recognize it whatsoever. Though he did notice this weird spiral thing on her shirt.
"Ya want to go on the swings together? It'll be fun!"
Itachi, clad in his ANBU armor, tries to nudge Sasuke forward but is unable to due to Sasuke already have started running toward the girl.
He didn't see the big smile on his little brother's face, but he could feel it.
Filled with annoyances.
o Konoha: The Academy o
Twitch.
Twitch.
Both of Naruko and Sasuke's eyes twitch at the sight of the two fangirls fighting over Sasuke's affections.
Naruko sighs, palming her face and shakes it in annoyance.
"I hope I'm not on a team with her..."
She jinxed herself, her academy instructor Iruka announcing Team Seven's members.
"...and Team Seven will consist of Naruko Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Your jounin instructor will be Kakashi Hatake."
The thuds against the desks in the classroom were loud and came from Sasuke and Naruko.
Sasuke turns his head to his only friend and glares at her, making Naruko put up her hands in defense.
"Hey don't blame me!" The glare worsened, "Hey, at least we have each other right, Sasuke-baka?"
The shrieks of Sakura didn't really help.
Filled with many challenges
o Land of Waves o
"Damnit! Why can't I do this?!"
Naruko struggle to get up in the battlefield in The Land of Waves, her opponent being the Kiri dressed hunter-nin, Haku, the same boy she met after training hard one night.
Her standard kunoichi attire all bloody and cut up from her first real fight-nothing like the mock fights she had with her dad, this is real.
Haku sighs silently, slowly coming out of an ice mirror from the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals technique that trapped Naruko and her teammate Sasuke, and he prepares to deal the final blow.
Naruko seeing this gains wide eyes.
'NO! I'm not going to die! Not toDAY!'
Naruko's world exploded in a bright orange light.
Filled with love.
o Konoha: Dango Shop o
Jiraiya sat awkwardly in front of her daughter and girlfriend in a dango shop. The customers and owner just staring at them expectantly.
He coughs getting the attention of one Anko Mitarashi who was eating her dango like it was any other day and one blushing Naruko in her lap whose eyes were looking at the ground.
"S-so..." Jiraiya pauses for a second, struggling to find words.
"How'd you guys meet?"
Anko clad in her revealing outfit still fit for battle was about to respond, her head resting on the smaller girl head, was about to respond but was cut off by the legendary pervert.
"Did you have sex yet?"
Filled with hardships.
o Valley of the End o
Laying down in a pool of her own blood caused by one of her closest friends (not that she would say it out loud), Naruko realizes something.
And so she laughs.
For a long time.
Tears running down her face.
Soon enough, her girlfriend and her teacher Kakashi come, obviously worried for two different reasons.
"N-naru-chan," Anko's voice is timid and soft, something very unlike her, "Are you okay?"
Her response was silence, Naruko's laughing having stopped as Anko finished her question.
Naruko's tears still kept falling, one bloody hand going up to her face and forcefully shuts her eyes as more tears fall.
"I-I'm, so weak. Anko-chan!"
Filled with pain.
o After Pein's Defeat in Konoha: Village Outskirts o
Emotionless, Naruko stares down at the tree where the memorial she created for her adoptive father Jiraiya lies.
She is accompanied by Anko, Konan, and Tsunade.
Anko and Tsunade having recovered from their lost battles and Konan after she sworn her loyalty to Naruko.
Everyone stays silent.
However the silence is cut off by Naruto's shaky voice.
"A-rigatou, t-tou-sama..."
Filled with even more pain.
o During the Fourth Shinobi War o
Gasping and groaning in pain, Naruko's nine-tailed beast form soon began to fade, the orange glow dying down, and falls to her knees and onto the extremely decimated ground of, her, dimension.
Her Rinnegan left eye and Mangekyo Sharingan right eye bleed (given to her by Sasuke and transplanted by Sakura), bleeds as if she was crying.
Coughing blood, Naruko struggles to look up at the source of her problem.
Kaguya Otsutsuki.
She is the cause of all her pain.
She used her for her own selfish dream.
She basically killed Jiraiya.
Anko...
Konan.
Tsunade.
Sasuke.
Sakura.
Kakashi.
Yamato.
Sai.
Lee.
Shikamaru.
Chouji.
Ino.
Neji.
Kiba.
Konohamaru.
She fucking killed.
All.
Of.
Her.
Precious.
People!
"Naruko! Don't let it end like this!" Kuruma's voice resonates from within her mind.
"We have no choice! We have to do our last resort!"
With a sudden newfound strength that made Kaguya raise a delicate eyebrow, Naruko stood up, her tailed beast form coming back with a vengeance.
Soon puffs of smoke appear all around Kaguya and Naruto.
Hundreds of thousands of shadow clones appear in the destroyed wasteland of the dimension.
Kaguya looked on with boredom, merely wondering what made the girl gain confidence,
Surely she must have broken when she ripped the throat out of her two lovers?
Her bored gaze soon turned into one of shock, noticing the intricate seals that each individual shadow clone had on her person.
Her shock made her opponent smirk.
"This is the only way to end this war."
The seals begin to glow, silver.
And then.
"If I'm going to die."
Naruko's dojutsu eyes fill with blood.
"I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME!"
Each Naruko Shadow Clone seals glow a blinding light.
And then.
...
...
...
Naruko wakes up on a gigantic building.
A building she would later recognize as the Empire State Building in New York.
Somewhere far, far, far, far, far away from the destroyed world she called a home.
